Try visiting the UK forum, I am sure someone can help you there.

When I was there I remember something about petitioning the government for permission. You'll need to contact the Home Office and get a certificate of approval. You must also have at least 3 months on your visa left and have had leave to remain for more then 6 months.

Oops should have read your post more clearly. Thought you were the one in the UK on the visa. OK so you'll need to get a marriage/fiance visitor visa.
